New YORK, March 12.-Ever since the
craze for silk patchwork quilts sub
sided to certain extent people have
been wishing for some new device to
make use Of the bits of silk that are con-
SANITY accommodating in a household. Al
asst it has been found they may be mad
into n beautiful portiere. Fne great ad
vantage is that while for patch work
every piece must be fresh in appearance,
in making portiere every little Old bit

Cut the pieces OF silk in strips half an
luch wide and two incht long. Sew
them strongly together by tapping them.
Just take the pieces up hap-haz ard as
they happened to come. 1t requires
about five funds to make enough Tor
curtain three wards long and a ward
and a halt wide. After the strips are
S ,wed together take them to weaver
and have them woven in fat manner.

pretty as th" fat weaving. Here IN New

Hair Growing After Death.

Sitting in the Office of the comptroller
of the treasury the other day were two
gentlemen waiting for the preparation of
some document which the bureau was
just about compiling. On the wall oppo-
site hung fine oil portrait of Salmon p
Chase, the first comptroller, showing
him as a handsome, ford faced man,
without beard and with head partially
bald.
That doesn't look much as he did a
year ago." said one of them, noting the
handsome portrait.
"a year ago; why, he has been dead
these ten years or more, hasn't he?''
Eyes, eighteen of them. Yet / saw
him only year ago with full beard and
full head of hair, very different from
the picture you see before U.s."
''What do you mean?"
''Simply this: l was present when
his remains were taken from Oak View
cemetery for transmission to Cincinnati a
year ago. Although seventeen years had
elapsed the remains were still in an
almost perfect state. The features were
entirely distinguishable to those who
knew him in life. The clothing was in
perfect state of preservation. The
principal changes were that the face was
dark, and instead of being smooth, as
was his custom in life, it was covered
with full growth of beard, two inches
or SO in length and mixed with gray.
The head, which you see was bald in life,
was covered with full suit of hair,
partly gray. Omaha Herald.

fashionable "CoIored,, Weddings

"Colored' weddings are among the
fashionable experiments in the east. The
regulation toilet of white silk prevails
with brides, but the chromatic style may
be run and rerun before color is found
suitable to the bridesmaids. AT yellow
weddings only brunettes are chosen, and
either soft silk, brocade, tulle or plush is
used in the costumes. The maids carry
Neil roses, the wedding table is orna-
mented with yellow and that color is used
about the reception room, wherever prac-
teal. AT blue weddings the maids of
honor dress in pale blue MORE and trans
parent cloth, and the favors from the
groom are turquoise. Bunches of blue
hydrangia are used for hand bouquets,

Niefeta0a'8 h1n0neS& 20 y Cailus
The 6-year-old daughter of Frederick
E. Loux, Florence, is probably the proud
est and most delighted child IN the city.
During the presidents visit here last Sep
tember she decided TO. make him the
recipient of a bouquet of wild flowers,
which she had gathered and arranged.
Without telling any one of her determi-
nation, little Florence proceeded TO the
Lafayette hotel, and giving the bunch OF
wild flowers to the hotel clerk, asked him
that it might be sent to the president
Florence was very much surprised, but
not at all disconnected, when the clerk,
calling bell boy, placed her in his care
that she might make the gift IN person
On entering the rooms occupied by the
chief magistrate, the child walked
straight up to him and, presenting the
flowers, said: II picked these on purpost
for you, Mr.. President. The president
showing in his face the pleasure which
the childish gift and simplicity called
| forth, asked her name. This she readily
gave, without, however, giving her resi-
| dence, and, after being kissed by tbs
| President, she returned TO her home OF
| South Sixth street.
| The parents OF the child could scarcely
| credit the story when she told them O
the incident of the day, but they wer'
convinced few days ago when the por
trait of the president, with an autograph

upon receiving so much notice from tn,

| since then Florence has been laborin,
faithfully to accomplish that end, ant
looks forward with delight TO the tim
when she will have reached the height o
her ambition. In finding the address o

The name was given to every letter car
